Accreditation info
MASE is undergoing initial accreditation using the Focus on Learning process through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). This process allows for schools to engage in objective and subjective self-evaluations to assess programs in achieving its purpose to ensure continual program improvement and student learning. The process requires parental involvement and input. More information in how you can participate will be shared during our first PTA meeting.
Standard based grading system (Sbg)
The Guam Department of Education is transitioning to Standards-Based Grading System (SBG) and there are major policy implications of moving towards this system. As you will see, SBG is not one complete system that can be adopted all at once, but rather a set of grading principles that have to be addressed separately and eventually adopted by the Guam Education Board.
Moving from percentage grades to a 4-point proficiency scale: The proposal here is to move from the current percentage system to a 4-point proficiency scale. This 4-point scale will be then translated to an easily recognizable letter grade of A, B, C, etc...
Unlike the current percentage grades, the 4-point proficiency scale will show a student’s level of proficiency of a particular standard, skill or topic.
We will be implementing the SBG grading system this school year with full implementation by Spring 2020. You will see grades recorded as 4, 3, 2, and 1.Geraldine J. Pablo Thu, Jun 13, 11:22 AM (5 days ago)

The grading period on the elementary school level from kindergarten through grade five is on a quarter (9 week) basis. Mid-Progress Reports are issued half way through the quarter and Report Cards are issued at the end of each quarter. Grades will then be reported into a percentage until full implementation of the Standards Based Grading System. Upon full implementation, grades will be reported on the 4 point scale.
